Yeonmi Park Speaks Up For Human Rights

When young author Yeonmi Park made the decision to write her book she was probably aware that there would be some critics. Every interesting piece of literature, especially autobiographies, will have critics that look to dissemble the coherency of the story. Park has witnessed this, but she has stood strong to the overarching theme of her autobiography.

Her hurt and humiliation has been spilled on the pages of her autobiography. She is assertive in letting people know that she has faced starvation before. She has also let people know that there was a time when she simply did not want to live anymore. Parks has come out of the ashes though. Park has become a voice on Youtube for those that have been silenced by oppression. Parks represents a new wave of women that have escaped all the harsh conditions that have been placed upon them.

Many people want to silence this voice out of fear that it brings a bad name to North Korea, but Park isn’t making up this life. She is telling her story on Daily Mail and the story of lots of others that have not made it out. She is a public speaker that has a platform.
